Hello Everyone! I would like to thank my wonderful reviewers 'blows kisses' I love you all.
Disclaimer: ok you win, I still haven't taken over the world and I still don't own demon diary… but it's only a matter of time…
"What are we going to do…" sighed a bewildered Erutis, staring at her feet.
"We must act as though the event never occurred," as usual, no emotion showed on Eclipse face. Only the contempt in his voice was a sign that he had any feelings at all.
Though Erutis could not tell, the disgust he felt was not directed at her, but at himself. He had kissed a human. And worse still, he had enjoyed it! The demon shuddered. What had he been thinking?
Erutis noticed the shudder and began to anger. She tried to force herself to be glad that he wanted nothing to do with her. After all, she couldn't possibly 'like' him… Could she? Her hands clenched involuntarily, she was about to explode –
"Is everything okay!" Shouted Chris, dashing through the door, Raenef following closely behind. "I know you told us to wait, but it's been a long time and we haven't heard anything."
"I followed him!" piped Raenef, smiling and pointing at Chris.
"So… what's the problem?"
"Nothing," lied Erutis, waving her hand nonchalantly, "Eclipse was just scared by a spider. Isn't that right." She glared at Eclipse and sniggered.
"Erm… yes," came a reply through gritted teeth.
"Anyone hungry?" chirped Raenef, breaking the silence that had settled between them.

After an awkward meal, through which Eclipse and Erutis continued to glare at each other (Chris and Raenef were completely oblivious), Erutis was extremely happy to get into her nice, warm bed.
Try as she might, the knight could not get Eclipse off her mind. She kept replaying the kiss over and over and over. Why had he done it, only to decide to pretend it had never happened? Was he just messing with her? Again she felt herself getting angry. Stupid demon. She was not about to give in to her torment. She would act like she didn't care or avoid him at all costs. She decided the second option was better.

All his beliefs and pride had all been destroyed by one damn female. She was probably laughing at him at that very moment, savoring her triumph. That damn knight was out to get him…. To destroy him from the inside. (A/N he's getting a little paranoid) He loathed her – you could still want someone you hated, right? Well from now on he wasn't going to let her near him. Eclipse would avoid her at al costs.

"Does it seem a bit quiet to you?" Chris asked Raenef. The two of them were alone at the breakfast table that morning. Erutis and Eclipse were nowhere to be seen. He may look it, but Chris wasn't stupid. He knew something was wrong in the castle, he jst couldn't pinpoint what…
"Hi guys!" called Erutis a little too heartily. She entered the room carefully, glancing around quickly to check for Eclipse. Finding it safe, she was about to sit down, when who should walk in but Eclipse. On seeing him Erutis turned bright red and fled the room. Leaving a suspicious Chris, an unaware Raenef and a stony faced, yet slightly flushed Eclipse.
As usual she had made a complete fool of herself in front of everyone. She sat at the eng of her king sized bed and sighed, wondering how she always managed to get into these situations. Her Alone-time, however, was short lived as Raenef had decided to again pester them to play hide and seek.
"I'm it!" he shouted, and started counting before anyone could disagree.
"1, 2, 3, 4…"
Eclipse, not at all in the mood for games, stalked off and shut himself in the nearest wardrobe. He was getting too soft, playing such a trivial game.
"…15, 16, 17, 18…"
Competitive Chris wriggled himself into the kitchen pantry.
"…30, 31, 32, 33…"
Erutis, only just having heard the boy begin to count, ran around frantically, just managing to throw herself through the closest door. She listened quietly in the dark for counting.
"…37, 38, 39, 40!"
Erutis leant back, expecting to feel the cold, hard wall behind her. Insted she found herself resting against something that, while it was cold and hard, was definitely not a wall.
"Excuse me, I believe this is MY hiding spot." whispered Eclipse from behind her. Erutis jumped.
"Shut up!" she squeaked, "he's coming!"
After the initial shock of being stuck in a closet together, Eclipse started to realize just how small the space was. He could feel her breath against his neck and it sent shivers down his spine despite how stuffy it was. She was so close to him, all he had to do was reach out…
"There you are Chris! I've found you!" came Raenef's excited yell, making the pair jump.
Erutis face was getting redder by the second. He wanted nothing to do with her, she needed to get a grip of herself. She tried, she really did, but Erutis couldn't stop herself from inching slowly towards him, slowly bridging the gap between their bodies. Why couldn't she control herself?
He felt her getting closer, he knew that he should push her away, but he couldn't. Instead he reached behind her back and drew her even closer.
"No…" they whispered in unison, but it was too late. Their lips were only milliliters apart…
"Found you!" bellowed Raenef, flinging open he door. Erutis and Eclipse broke apart just in time to see Raenef's head poking through the entrance. They faked smiles and congratulated Raenef, trying not to look guilty.
"Why is your face red?" asked Chris.
"Um… Rae scared me when he burst in," Erutis lied, blushing harder.
"Okay." Both Chris and Raenef looked pleased with her poor excuse. Thank Gods they were so gullible.
"I'm going to eat food," she stated and pushed passed them towards the solitude of the kitchen. She needed to think somewhere alone. She didn't understand what had just happened. She had almost slipped up again – it was lucky Raenef had turned up. A moment later and they would have. What had he been thinking! The demon had made it perfectly clear that he had wanted nothing to do with her. Yet somehow… Erutis sighed; she was just going to have to try harder to avoid him.
"Why have you eaten so much?" Chris was looking at the table before her on which lay an empty carton of milk, three half eaten doughnuts, an a large pile of chocolate wrappers.
"Mind your own business," she snapped.
"I was just asking, jeeze, no need to lash out!"
"I'm sorry," she said simply, her expression softening.
"It's okay; you've just seemed a little bit detached recently,"
"I said, MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUISNESS!"
Chris shook his head as she stormed out of the room. There was definitely something strange gong on.
Yay! Chapter 2 is all done! And I managed to finish it before midnight. Again I'd like to beg all you kind people to review. I'll get the next one out in about 2 weeks.
Until then!
Miaow!
